Re: Garbled screen after RAM Scrub on boot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have tried that, but it makes no difference!
I have removed all GFX settings, and vga= settings, and rhgb, still no good.
All I would like is a 1024x768 screen which shows what is going on at boot.
I know I can look in the logs, but it is useful to see.
Everything is fine at the login prompt, but the resolution is low.

If you no not NEED a gfx boot at bare metal, remove the "rhgb" string,
this switches grub from a "full graphic" mode to a "hires textmode",
AFAICS, this also influences all grub instances in the whole XEN
infrastructure, so it could be a influence.
